CfgMissionSides

The Mission Configuration of sides and factions is a reference for the framework to identify the information about the faction including name, side and unit types associated.

The potential is to custom create your own factions with relative ease (especially when combined with the virtual armoury)

Usage

The entry for the mission sides config goes in the description.ext file. Display names can be used in task descriptions to flesh out task briefing s with additional detail.

Parameter	Values	Description
displayName	STRING	The abbreviated name of the side.
displayLongName	STRING	The long name of the side
displayColour	STRING	The marker colour of the side
side	NUMBER	0=East, 1=West, 2=Independant, 3=Civilian
groups	CLASS	See side group configuration below
vehicles	CLASS	See side vehicle configuration below
